Mid-Continent Instrument’s True Blue Power division introduced two new lithium-ion main-ship batteries yesterday, designed for jets, turboprops, piston airplanes and helicopters. The new 28-volt batteries come in two sizes: the TB44 (44 ampere hours) and TB17 (17 ampere hours), and can be seen at Mid-Continent’s NBAA exhibit (Booth No. C10040). These new batteries, which will be certified and ready for deliveries in the fourth quarter this year, are first being offered to aircraft manufacturers and not yet to the aftermarket.
Mid-Continent also announced that it is holding a series of “Lithium Batteries 101” safety seminars next year, with the first planned for the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) convention in Nashville in March and others at NBAA Regional Forums, AEA events, Cessna’s Citation customer conference and next year’s NBAA convention.
